Oxford Middle School

Summary:

Oxford Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Oxford, Mississippi, with a student population of 697 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

Oxford Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, over 50% of 7th and 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of around 40-55%. The school also excels in Algebra I, with 97% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (74.8%) and state (67.4%) averages. Additionally, 65% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 59.1%.

Despite serving a diverse student population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Oxford Middle School outperforms the nearby Lafayette Middle School, which is part of the Lafayette County School District. This success is likely due to the school's low student-teacher ratio and the strong focus on academic excellence within the Oxford School District, which is ranked 13th out of 130 school districts in the state.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
